Clash Royale Card Power Rankings (August 19th)

Live Tournament Hype!! Be sure to read all about our news on the Northern Arena Clash Royale Tournament if you haven’t already, and enter our qualifiers on the 21st and 25th! If you’re still thinking about which cards to use in your deck, perhaps this week’s Card Power Rankings will give you some ideas…

A lot of rumors swirling around an upcoming nerf for Mini P.E.K.K.A. in the next balance update (potentially to be announced next week!) While a very good card, we honestly don’t think Mini P.E.K.K.A. is by any means an imbalanced one; we’d prefer other cards to be buffed or nerfed before Mini P.E.K.K.A. gets touched.

Sometimes I wonder whether the Pump can be made to add a little more strategic value to the game other than just pumping out an Elixir every 10 seconds or so. Considering that spells like Rage/Freeze/Zap can speed up or slow down the Pump, maybe more cards can have interactions with it as well to affect the Elixir production rate?

Looks like Trifecta decks are now a thing of the past (for this week, anyway), with only 2 of the Top 30 players using Valkyrie this week and Hog missing the Top 10. Musketeer is still sitting strong in our rankings though.

While everyone talks about what to expect with the next balance change, don’t forget that there’s also a strong possibility that new cards will be introduced! With the effectiveness of the Giant pushes, you’d have to wonder whether a card to counter the Giant will be introduced…
